Testimonials:

"Thanks to BI (and hard work) I passed the Base SAS Certification Exam first go!
BI is the only website I could find that includes a thorough set of questions for the Base SAS Certification exam AND well-explained answers.

I studied a lot for this exam, and used a lot of different resources (including those provided by the SAS Institute for a fee).

These practice questions (and explanations) are definitely some of the best available, and are a huge help in passing the Base SAS Exam.

Thank you!”
